Shock Muzzles - Legal Protection

What Shock Muzzles Are Used for?

We
keep dogs for different purposes, for instance to guard us and our
territory. We buy service dogs, pay for their training, but not many
people know that using such a dog is illegal. It is excess of
self-defense. So you have to consider all pros and cons before you buy a
service dog.

Strong Leather Muzzle for Service Dog Training

It is different, when your rival is armed. You are on the horns of a
dilemma. Be ready for trails and be aware: because of the dangerous dogs
hysteria in the mass media the people will not be on your side. Add the
increase of legislative pressure. Even if a robber invaded into your private territory and was attacked by
your Shepherd, you will still have lots of problems. And imagine it was
not a robber, but a 12 years old boy who wanted to pick up his ball that had been rolled into you garden? Even some power departments
are not allowed to keep service dogs.

It looks like we are wound round. So what do you need a dog for? Is it legal to have a dog? These questions brought us to France,
where people have been facing these problems since many years. And they
were able to find the way out. The service dog can be used in different
ways depending on the situation. For example, if the robber is not
armed, the dog attacks wearing a shock muzzle, if armed - without any muzzle.

It is interesting that in France the law regulates the usage of dogs.
Depending on who has the dog, it is allowed to carry out strikes. The
police can strike into the face and flank, the citizens - only in the
body and only if the rival is armed and using the dog without muzzle is
legal.
We found the shock muzzle technique interesting. It is quite effective weapon. After training a couple of Shepherds according
to this method we found that it worked. The attacked one can get rib
fractures or pain shock.

You need special equipment to train your service dog: a security helm
and vest for the helper and a shock muzzle for the dog (it is custom
made of rather firm leather with a metallic inset in the fore part.
Inside, it is equipped with a mouth guard to protect the dog's teeth).

Leather Muzzle to Protect a Dog from Shocks

The method is very simple but rather effective. First the dog is taught
to bite into the place where it will later hit, then they put on a shock
muzzle and the dog doesn't bite no more, it hits. Then the so called
social training follows. After teaching your dog this skill you will get
an effective and legal weapon.

But what to do with 12-year boy who invaded to pick up his ball?
It is simple: if you noticed him, draw the dog's attention
and keep the invader on the spot. This dog behavior will protect you from annoying kids and territory
guard efficiency will not be reduced.
